Inlay / Onlay in Jefferson City, MO

Inlays and onlays typically require less tooth be removed, making them an ideal alternative to silver fillings and crowns.

An onlay is used to repair a tooth when the chewing cusps have been affected. Otherwise, inlays and onlays are basically the same:

• Custom-made of composite materials (gentle to opposing teeth, prone to more wear and discoloration), gold (strongest, most expensive, not natural-looking), or tooth-colored porcelain (most natural-looking, wear well)
• Permanently cemented into the tooth
• Highly durable and long-lasting

After evaluating the damaged tooth, High Street Dentistry will help you make the best decision for your budget and your mouth – and give you a long-lasting, joyful smile.
